40226 - Reimagining and Reconstructing Occupational Work and Identities in Changing Environments
Mon, August 11, 8:00 to 9:30am, East Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Ballroom Level/Gold, Grand Hall HDescription
Occupations do their work in constantly shifting environments. Political dynamics, technology, and social movements create and destroy tasks and thus redefine what work can and should be done. In the face of these shifts, occupational members alter not only the work that they do but also their identities. The papers in this session explore different facets of these occupational responses.
